Air on the G String (Suite No. 3, BWV 1068) J. S. Bach, original instruments 

Thank you, Frenchy.

It is...and for a while we too touch eternity

Of course, this music is almost 300 years old ! Bach music will still exist even in 1 billion years.

Because it comes from....the source he told us at the end of every piece he wrote - to the greater glory of God and God heard.

The Voice of god! Amén

Fernando Vidal isso mesmo! Deus o abençoe na eternidade!

With all due respect, I think what we call creation in music, or the arts in general, is an unconscious process. The artist must be considered a channeler, or a transmitter of something beyond himself, rather than a creator.

No, it's the soundtrack of nature - Air

Also good with a great sandwich or pizza.

Along with the soundtrack to IIDX 26

How on Earth did you make it through? This piece is so intensely emotional as it is, I would have been a puddle of goo. You honored Billy in the grandest way possible and no other piece of music ever created could be as appropriate.

May he rest in peace.

Yesss

Trash kpop

Bach was genius, Red Velvet is just bunch of young girls

@@victorklimov5254 recte frater

Nobody cares.

that's me too!

Omg I felt it too 😍

same!!!🤣

Same😊

same

Isn't it ? Such masterly ~

Indeed.

For me as well. No other piece of music comes even close and I listen to a lot of music and have many pieces/ songs that are important to me, but there's a qualitative difference somehow between this and everything else

It takes a genius to compose this work of art. If he Bach was a politician he would have made a brilliant politician put the rest politicians to a point.

@@JBrooksNYS Like what is that supposed to mean about your ??????.

¡El hijo de Dios, servidor del ser humano, con su divino arte!

👍👍👍👍👍

Out of the 27 pieces of music on the Voyager Record, Bach made 3. One of them is the very first. If Voyager is ever found by aliens, and if they assemble the player correctly and play the songs in order, the very first human music they will hear is Bach. I'm not sure there is something like a single greatest musician of all time, but I think there is no greater honor than your work (possibly) being the opening to an intergalactic cultural exchange.

Thanks OMG,the world has been unkind to me today,this cheer me up

Fine art blossomed in America ! This is it definitely !

I hope so.

I got the sweet box reference

thats how I got here too

Marcelo Pasqualette Now imagine when it will sound like when we really get there!

3:15 and the last chord is like the peak of the heaven m8

Marcelo Pasqualette Indeed Marcelo!

i hope you're right, but probably going to hear hell music unfortunately

They play this in reception. Once inside you can hear his newer stuff.

I was stressed out because I'm 100% recognized this part but I don't remember where I heard it.

Oops, nvm...found it, it's from AJR - The Good Part

@Addy 04 thats where I originally heard it!

@@addy0495 the movie Se7en, library scene.

The part that gives me chills is 3:18.

Same. It's the peace and harmony we are made for and miss so often.😢😊

+TruthSurge I totally agree. I noticed it before I saw your comment. Played 3:15 10 times and I am still shaking. The natural superb quality of the reverb plays a big role in making this chord so perfect. Funny after centuries of romantic then post romantic music all the way to Schoenberg's dissonant music, then of course jazz and all its flavors, making chords more and more complex, it is amazing how today a simple perfectly played 1-3-5 major chord can still move us so deeply. Why is that? Is God a major chord?

gringoalsur yep. just a nice blend of tones and reverb and resolution.

And the same chord at the end. Breathtaking really.. It's good to know that there are people in the world that actually listen to and enjoy great music! Cheers!

Yep.

I just may have the appropriate explanation for what is encountered when these dear folks engage - they are ALL really good at making the music the first and foremost concern AND they play well with others. I just love them, their repertoire, and their unwavering dedication to tenderness and decency.

Benar sekali :")

Yass

Glad you like it!

I was thinking that same thing when I heard this my ear loves it 😊 ❤

The whole video is the auditory definition of Heaven.

"When the angels play for themselves, they play Mozart. When they play for God, they play Bach."

To "jetboy33": Well said!

Oi

Indeed it may have been

I heard this for the first time ever yesterday and had to seek it out again. I like your comment.

Tiene algo que no se explicar

Compact, but infinite.

It’s because you can relate to it, on a emotional and physiological level

Chords

As a fan of both genre, it’s very nice to know there’re still hopes for these beauties.

Air means aria I think

¡Y nos oxigena el corazón y el alma!...

music is helping, for a part . . .

God be with you.

@@mimikyu3842 Thank you.

Music is so powerful. All my sincere condolences.

@@alanguedes7658 Thank you.

I was about to comment I can't really hear the archlute or the organ. My ears might need some cleaning.

Nothing can hide from the Violin... The Violin’s mantra is: Hey; I'm gonna get you too, another one bites the dust…

@@diegofloor Of course you can hear the archlute and organ. You just can't always distinguish their sound, any more than you can distinguish the sound of each of the two first violins. The organ blends with the strings. That's what it's there for. You can make out the archlute separately whenever David Tayler wants you to, as at 1:23 and 1:39.

Well, maybe 1:22

Strong agree. First violins have had a bit of "Broadway soprano syndrome" about this piece ever since Wilhelmj got his hands on it. Nice to hear it done the way it is intended.

Almost same

Me too

Sameee

Touches every emotion in my being, it’s so beautiful. 😊

It is you, Voices of Music, who are deserving of thanks for the beautiful products of your loving passion.

love it

You deserve it.

U deserve Ten times more. Thank you!!

2 millions that you entirely deserve! damn it what a channel!

it's baroque, not classical.

It's baroque and classical: baroque music is part of classical music, and the term classical music is also used for music from the classical period.

This is related to the broad definition or narrow definition of classical music. Broadly speaking, baroque, classical and even romantic period music can be regarded as classical music. Narrowly or technically speaking, classical music refers to the music composed in classical period, typically by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven.

look up BWV 1063 ,concerto for three harpsichords in D minor , quite head banging

@@bamoarea ohh ok, I thought it's a meme because everyone is talking about in the comment section but thank you💗

@@arvinchris7834 You're welcome haha ! 💗😂

J.S. Bach is considered by the majority of music experts as THE most important, influential and best music composer ever.

100%

Bach was deeply religious and he said that his music come from God.

Almost otherworldly

​@@chrisdelaplante5515Soli Deo Gloria. 🙏🏼

+avedic You wrote exactly how I feel when I hear this piece, in this version. It calms me down and warm my heart - and sometimes bring me to soft tears.

+avedic Well put--you've spoken for many, many of us.

+avedic Word

+avedic thank you..... you put the impossible in words.....

+avedic Bach himself would be happy to read this. Well done.

kalm

It is in fact on all the strings, not just on the G - string... :)

Thanks for listening!

That notion of peace and gratitude you express is the purpose of music. ☺️🙋🏼‍♀️🐦

Oh and will say I've donated so up and coming talented youth/people can continue this perfection XXX

"Most people" excludes 99% of musicians tho :)

Yeah, that's probably true -- but then, unlike general audiences musicians have the opportunity to hear how their music sounds without the bass lines, and can therefore properly appreciate what is lost. The bass is often more subtle and subdued in its effects than the treble, but it is very, very important!

Francisco Carvallo my Dad too. In Heaven...

God bless to you.

mine too,he passed away 15 months ago.He would have loved this piece a lot

I feel it too. Exactly the same.

It’s a movement part of a suite.

''The aim and final reason of all Music '' should be nothing else but , the Glory of God and the refreshment of the Spirit '' , Johann Sebastian Bach

Amen

without vibrato, absolute pure music

Me too, my brain gets flooded by beethophins as well as endorphins

i haven't seen many other version of air, but this is definitely the best version for me

Indeed. ❤️

I really love the church organ version

I agree. This work has four distinctive voices blended masterfully into one. It's like a master chef blending a host of perfect ingredients to make a perfect creation. I hear this Bach masterpiece everywhere. I hear it in Carl Sagan's "Cosmos" , in Morgan Freeman's "Seven" and many others. It is the ultimate in class.

JOHN MENUIS And you also hear it in Procol Harum's "Whiter Shade of Pale", dumbed down but with psychedelic lyrics added.

Gerlício Celso There's no singing in it.

@@VANEPS7 also in Beatles "Yellow Submarine" and "The end of Evangelion"

Probably...

Yes. the piece itself transcends.

So true!

I certainly agree with your sentiment and I fully support the inherent, quintessential purity of "period"-based performances. All musical compositions, masterpieces clearly included, deserve the dignity of being performed and experienced in their original incarnations! And in most cases it is in their original version that their sublime and exquisite genius can be experienced at its height and to the fullest extent. That is certainly true for educated individuals familiar and appreciative of musical history extending beyond the 20th century! However, unfortunately the sad reality is that such individuals seem to be in the distinct minority in our civilization. And I also firmly believe that adaptations and arrangements serve the important role of presenting the splendor & beauty of the masterpieces of a forgotten era in a more contemporary form and/or style to those who due to their ignorance might otherwise dismiss and never encounter or appreciate these gems of the past; and in my opinion it is better that are known, even in an altered-even adulterated form, than for them to be not known at all! And the fact that these amazing works can be adapted to so many styles is a testament to their eminence and is part of- and a sign of- their true enduring greatness! The precious artistic jewels of the past are the legacy of all humanity, and even the ignorant have a right to enjoy them even if they need to be adapted into a form that they can understand and appreciate. And hopefully, the encounter will not only expand their awareness but incite curiosity and interest in the source. . Gounod's "Ave Maria" re-introduced the masterful genius of Bach through his Prelude in C to an audience and a generation to whom his music and name was completely unknown while at the same time adding to it a serenely glorious descant melody of his own presented in style that was contemporary and modern at the time. Another much more modern and more extreme example is Max Richter's "re-composition" of "The Four Seasons" by Vivaldi which adapts the exceedingly popular classic which, as he cites has been robbed of its dignity through overuse in everything from advertising schemes to the music presented to us while we anxiously wait to express our frustration to a human representative of a corporation which has abused us- obviously tainting and contextualizing the music in a most unfavorable way! Vivaldi has even been reduced to the level of chopped into repeating loops featured as ringtones on mobile devices, the effect of which has all but destroyed the possibility of appreciation and even associated instilled animosity for the music! And yet Richter manages to clear the slate, reinterpreting and infusing the abused, disrespected and worn out themes with new life through contemporary rhythms, instrumentation and modern stylings as well as new soaring melodies and underlying bass lines, and even the techniques and forms of electronica giving this work which has endured three centuries a new interpretation which has a new power to capture the ears, hearts and imaginations of the modern generation and reintroduce to them a stunning, emotive and captivating, relevant new version of this classic which they are able to enjoy and appreciate. With this offering Richter offers the opportunity to experience this classic anew to a generation whose only exposure to the original has been thoroughly defiled and which they have almost certainly dismissed, in the best case scenario, as nothing more than one of a multitude of disposable dime-a-dozen jingles in a musical landscape that is saturated with uninspired, commercial productions littered with, if not almost entirely formulated from recycled and reused snippets of other often useless and mundane "hits" with the longevity of 'falling stars'. And in the worst case scenario this music elicits the redirected anger, frustration and rage as the subconscious scapegoat of their suffering at the hand of the dystopian, plutocracy of the modern age; not unlike the more overt reprogramming we saw in the prophetic, classic film "A Clockwork Orange". . Ultimately anything, how ever mangled and bastardized as it may seem to those intimately familiar with and endeared to its original form, that manages to introduce and familiarize the timeless pinnacles of creation from the faded past to new generations and audiences who would not otherwise ever learn of their eternal, magnificent awesomeness should not be immediately dismissed and criticized for it succeeded at something which I'd be willing to wager that you haven't even failed to accomplish- because a failure by default requires that an attempt has been made- that one has at least TRIED! I feel that it is not only misguided but also unhelpful and even hypocritical and counter-productive (not to mention pretentious, shortsighted and even selfish) to categorically classify the reinterpretations of classics as entities which compete to replace or defile the original. It seems more accurate and appropriate to perceive them as a kind of mirror which redirects, reminds and reintroduces the audience to the original in a form, style or format which they understand, enjoy and appreciate; thereby giving the piece in a new and contemporary context and setting, not to eclipse it or replace it but to honor it and resurrect it to a new group! It has been said that the creative works of artistic geniuses give them a kind of immortality through their creations, and indeed we have the responsibility and honor of preserving them and keeping them alive, but I believe that one aspect of keeping them alive has to do with keeping them relevant and proving their timeless value by using them as sources of inspiration and by reinterpreting and adapting them for appreciation of those who would otherwise remain ignorant of their existence.

I would also like to point out that there are likewise musical masterpieces of other cultures and traditions which few Westerners are/would be able to comprehend or appreciate. And although we tend to perceive our music as superior and the most evolved musical tradition of our species (if for no other reason than the fact that it has become fairly dominant), this is not entirely accurate based on an objective analysis of the music itself. Western music has certainly attained and produced the most complex, advanced and evolved works in terms of harmony, polyphony and range of instrumentation, as well as in methods of preservation (in both written and recorded form). However, it's current and contemporary offerings are for the most part (certainly in terms of complexity and originality on the level of harmony, polyphony, rhythmic expression and even melody) has reverted hundreds of years and the majority of our music would bore the not just celebrated composers of centuries gone by but even the common man! There are other cultures which actually have developed much more advanced musical traditions in terms of highly complex rhythmic patterns and even poly-rhythmic traditions with almost unimaginably long phrases before repeating. There are also other traditions with much more complex systems of intonation as well as systems with much more advanced and intricate systems of scales and modes incorporating the complexities of what we refer to as microtones (divisions of the doubling of frequency {aka-the octave} into more than 12 distinct divisions). Many other traditions also managed to maintain the all-inclusive roots of our collective musical legacy. In order to make sense of and appreciate these forms we would require adaptations that simplified them and put them in a context familiar to us- a phenomenon which can be witnessed in "world music" and increasingly showing up in other more mainstream styles and formats of contemporary music (this obviously has limited presence in Western music diminishing as the age increases due to ignorance of its existence and lack of understanding).

That's a matter of opinions...

@@dxb8086 De acuerdo contigo, es excelente, pero para mi gusto las hay mejores !

kesinlikle katılıyorum. şu yukarıdakine bakma sen 😄

Nope

It has a certain quality that touches your heart.

대박

Follow follow my heart beat~🎶

chobiv7 I (15) personally hate the type of music that's popular. The subject of those songs are always about sex and drugs and they never have a deeper meaning, they are neither complex and are just repetitive.

chobiv7 I also want to apologize for the grammatical mistakes I've written,English is not my first language. Anyways,take care from Sweden.

I (14) think the same as the guy over me, I listen to what my friends would deem “odd” and really doesn’t like sharing my music. Feels to personal in a way. Cheers from another Swede!

Why are older generations quick to assume what a generation likes and doesn't like? We're not all dribbling on the floor playing fortnite, even though a high percentage of us are unfortunately. RU-vid comment sections are perfect grounds for people to assert their superiority to others for stupid reasons, for example here it's to do with age and assumptions that no one who is millennial likes this kind of music, and that's just flat out wrong, I know more than a handful of people who listen to this kind of music, this, classical, romantic, modern etc.

Thank you so much!

you're right, beautiful!

No

You are very welcome.

Same here, listening to all type of versions ranging from this one, through one leading-violin, orchestral, acoustic guitar, neoclassical rock versions,etc... This music is my anthem!

Enjoy!

No glory to Bach?

I think the real glory goes to Johann.

Cierto, música para el alma…
